Wine box shelving is classy and a great way to reduce, reuse and recycle! That’s right — rosé, reduce, reuse, recycle...and repeat! ##### [**Book Shelf**](https://www.thedecorfix.com/diy-book-shelf/) Any bookworms out there? This one’s for you! You’ll need some books, twine, paper, Modge Podge, a sponge and an electric drill to bring this concept to life. This one is sure to spark conversation! ##### **![Shelves9-560x560](https://blog.ruoff.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shelves9-560x560.jpg?width=500&name=Shelves9-560x560.jpg)** ##### [**Hanging Shelves**](http://whydontyoumakeme.com/diy-hanging-shelves/) This one is subtle but can really draw the eye horizontally. Perfect for nick knacks, small plants and other treasures, this shelving is relatively easy to assemble but adds another dimension to a room. ##### [**Ladder Shelves**](https://www.makingitinthemountains.com/diy-ladder-shelf/) This concept is great for outdoor spaces. While more involved than other projects, it can be worth the effort to have a decorative piece that no one else has. ##### [**Drawers-Turned-Shelves**](https://amber-oliver.com/2019/09/how-to-turn-dresser-drawers-into-shelves/) Another upcycled project, this one transforms thrift store drawers into something worthy of Pinterest. They’ll want to know your secret. ##### **![IMG_5516-650x975](https://blog.ruoff.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_5516-650x975.jpg?width=500&name=IMG_5516-650x975.jpg)** ##### [**Dollhouse Bookcase**](https://www.icanteachmychild.com/diy-dollhouse-bookcase/) The perfect addition to any nursery, this dollhouse bookcase just requires a few supplies and an open mind! ##### [**Wooden Box Shelving**](https://www.brit.co/diy-hanging-shelf/) This one requires minimal effort and it’s perfect for small spaces. Just hang the rope handle onto a single hook and...voila!  It’s ideal for renters and dorm-dwellers worried about adding one too many holes in the wall, or even those who change their mind a lot. ##### [**Wood Shelving with Chicken Wire**](https://www.hometalk.com/38415747/wood-shelving-with-chicken-wire) The farmhouse look is all the rage, and this project captures that essence. The chicken wire adds a rustic look while also functioning as a way to hold stuff in. Brilliant! ##### ![diy-skateboard-deck-shelf-upcycle](https://blog.ruoff.com/hs-fs/hubfs/diy-skateboard-deck-shelf-upcycle.jpg?width=500&name=diy-skateboard-deck-shelf-upcycle.jpg) ##### [**DIY Skateboard Shelving**](https://www.hometalk.com/28271945/diy-skateboard-deck-shelf-upcycle) Who knew an item from your childhood could have a second life as home decor?

Pretty rad! ##### [**Acoustic Guitar Shelf**](https://www.hometalk.com/31519946/guitar-shelf-how-to-make-an-acoustic-guitar-shelf) Just like the skateboard can be re-imagined as a focal point in a room, so can an instrument! If you want to add something different from the ordinary shelves on your living room or bedroom this project is for you. You don’t even have to be a musician to tackle this one. ##### **![make-your-xxl-pallet-shelf-easy-design-diy](https://blog.ruoff.com/hs-fs/hubfs/make-your-xxl-pallet-shelf-easy-design-diy.jpg?width=500&name=make-your-xxl-pallet-shelf-easy-design-diy.jpg)** ##### [**Pallet Shelf**](https://www.hometalk.com/36644815/make-your-xxl-pallet-shelf-easy-design-diy) It doesn’t get more utilitarian than this one!
